Overview of the events of 1967 in poetry
Events
Poetry International started by
Ted Hughes and
Patrick Garland
[1]
May 16 – the premiere at
Taganka Theater in Moscow of a staged poetical performance Послушайте! ("Listen!"), based on the works of
Russian poet
Vladimir Mayakovsky . The show is in repertoire until April 1984, is revived in May 1987 and again in repertoire until June 1989.
[2]
Soviet authorities, acting through the
Union of Soviet Writers , deny popular
Russian poet
Andrei Voznesensky permission to visit New York for a poetry reading at Lincoln Center, apparently because of remarks the poet made on a previous U.S. visit that were deemed pro-American, although the official reason is that Voznesensky's health is too poor for him to travel. In response, Voznesensky excoriates the literary union in a letter he sends to
Pravda , which the newspaper refuses to publish. Nevertheless, copies of the letter, accusing the literary-union authorities of "lies, lies, lies, bad manners and lies", are distributed widely in literary circles. On July 2, Voznesensky strongly criticizes the literary union in a poem he reads at the
Taganka Theater in Moscow. The union demands a retraction, but he refuses. According to Voznesensky's 2010 obituary in The New York Times , "The issue was ultimately smoothed over".
[3]
New Writers Press is founded by poets
Michael Smith and
Trevor Joyce with Smith's wife Irene in
Dublin to publish poetry.
